Cause (Documented platform behavior): MinIO serves path-style by default; virtual-host style requires MINIO_DOMAIN and DNS for bucket subdomains.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source/docs-derived; not reproduced.
- The example URL in exact_errors is illustrative; botocore formats the real endpoint URL.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Bucket operations fail with DNS/connection errors to a hostname that starts with the bucket name (or MinIO returns errors because Host doesn't match).
- Context
- Product: AWS SDKs (botocore/boto3, AWS SDK for JS v3) with S3-compatible servers Component: S3 addressing style Operation: Using endpoint_url/endpoint pointing to MinIO, Ceph RGW, LocalStack, SeaweedFS, docker-compose service names Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError Packages: botocore current, @aws-sdk/client-s3 v3 Trigger: SDK chooses virtual-hosted-style URLs (botocore 'auto', JS v3 forcePathStyle default false) and the S3-compatible server/hostname doesn't support bucket subdomains.

Proposed fix: [S3 SDKs against MinIO/LocalStack/S3-compatible endpoints] requests go to 'http://<bucket>.<host>:9000' and fail DNS/connection ('Could not connect to the endpoint URL') or 404 — virtual
Recommended action: Configure path-style: boto3 Config(s3={'addressing_style': 'path'}); JS v3 new S3Client({ endpoint, forcePathStyle: true, region }); or enable MINIO_DOMAIN + wildcard DNS for virtual-host style.
Option: Force path-style addressing [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. Python: boto3.client('s3', endpoint_url=URL, config=Config(s3={'addressing_style':'path'}))
2. JS v3: new S3Client({ endpoint: URL, region: 'us-east-1', forcePathStyle: true })
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
